Rainbows

I took my daughter back to Lancaster yesterday in preparation for her final year at university.  After unloading all her possessions and taking her shopping I had to drive away alone which was quite a sad time.  I know she is happy to be back in her house and will spend hours rearranging the rooms and her belongings to make the place home.  
As I drove home through amazingly changeable weather, I encountered brilliant, even blinding, sunshine,  torrential rain and gusting winds.  At one point I came upon the most colourful and closest double rainbow I have ever seen.   Of course, as I made progress forwards the orientation and placement of the rainbow shifted, but at one point it appeared as though they were both touching   land on the motorway - imagine digging there for that mythical pot of gold!   How I wished I was able to take some photographs but sadly being on a motorway that was just impossible - no stopping either allowed, or sensible - what a shame.   I travelled with these beautiful colours for some miles before losing them which made the solo return journey that little bit easier to take.
